Your design is really great! And so are the textures. i hope U will give more contrast & depth to your final image-it seems ab it flat right now-but ill guess u can do miracles afterwards while u have renderered all passes separately :) Anyway- excellent work! :bounce:
And HappyNew Year :buttrock:

Hi Monsit!

For me the texturing have not enough contrast, maybe with more different tones and/or colors that will work better and will pull off some pieces, make darker and lighter areas etc... just try...

Great work from far :thumbsup:

Hi man...my humble opinion...try a render where except your key lights...tone down your peripheral lights and add an opposite to the camera light with a tone different from white color opposite to the camera and behind all your models...also increase shadow depth to your key lights...does this help your contrast issue at all? :)

just a thought....keep it up...i like your modeling man very much and your idea !:bounce:

insert pilot to the main composition and play with value to give more depth to image! comments are alway welcome!

ADDING DEPTH
Take your image and in Photoshop...
1. Main layer normal
2. Duplicate layer and set as Multiply
3. Duplicate another Layer and set as Overlay
4. Flatten image
Play around and experiment but this will work a treat....can't wait to see your final
cheers

excellent job! a small suggestion, for the god : maybe if several "arms" placed as "tuching the sky" will increase his look as powerfull entity. keep going..is very good!

I'm not sure how close to the end you are, so some of these suggestions may be what you already have planned. First, let me just say the level of details on this image are insane and quite admirable. The red on the center big ship was a nice touch but I think overall the image needs a lot more color to balance out all the washed out grays and whites. You could mess around with the lighting and shading a bit but to make this image truly dynamic you may want to consider more color :thumbsup: Also, if you weren't going to add any thruster fire to the back of the ships I'd suggest doing so to give everything a greater sense of movement. And, to be really nitpicky ;) the ground is too blurry in relation to all of the ships and the monster so it throws off the sense of focus for me. Right now my focus is on the soldier with the gun as he is the most visually prominent area for me.

Still, nice work though!

holy ****, one of my favs. impressive modelling. want to see it totally textured

It's got more contrast now.Which is good.But,it's way too grainey.It's not bad,really,but just too graney,at least to me,I dont know I could be off.i still think it's also all too crowded.But still some of the better modeling in this chalenge that I have seen.And I am sure a short list top 15.A real nice entry.Just in IMHO too grainey.

01-11-2005, 02:42 PM

hi, it`s awesome ... very good texturing job

waht do you plat to do with lighting ? the whole image looks a bit flat (everything is greyish) - maybe few more expressive colors would help

and how did you textured those ships / pilot ? did you used some plugin or external program, or is it 3d max`s unwrap with lots of manual work ?

Here is final image , just bring the all element composite together, i try to solve contrast stuff and i think it should work ? so many need your comments , thanks in advance , maybe the title is final image , but i think i have to tweak it , so your comments are important !

essencedesign

01-11-2005, 03:32 PM

you added a small motion blur to the ships in the bottom left corner...but you missed one...the bottom most ship in the left corner needs some MB aswell....geat image though,, :thumbsup:
whats your final render size.

PeterSanitra

01-11-2005, 03:41 PM

those smoke trails up and right behind the ship are a bit confusing, somethimes it look like they are comming from ship engines more the intependent rocket.

The Trappist Funk

01-11-2005, 04:11 PM

I really like this image - reminds me of the old game R-Type.

Still, I think the guy in the bottom right blends in to much still - it looks like you've added a glow behind him to lighten up the ship in relation to him, but the contrast still isn't enough to make him really stand out!

arturro

01-11-2005, 07:34 PM

man... that's amazing! But I advice to move the camera back a bit, so that there is more space between the ships. Now you can get lost between all those amazing details.

Kylebrn

01-11-2005, 08:20 PM

Its turned out well.The modeling has alway been very well done.The textures are still a bit bland and there is not enough contrast.It's all too confusing.could you seperate the models a bit,the smoke looks good,but too confusing as well.
The guy still does bl;end in too much.But still a real good piece here.Just neds more contrast balance and less confusion.

I agree with taavi, perhaps made the left explosion a little bigger, and a little more contrast.. dont know... but dont take care about all our suggestions.. or you´r becoming crazy ;)... great image.. wish you the best. :)

Kaksht

01-12-2005, 05:59 AM

Hi Monsit!
Man, now this is one amazing image You have done, awesome stuff :thumbsup: The explosions are great! Maybe You should add some blur to the end of the pilots gun to show that he is going to aim at the monster :)
Regards!

final image tweak , from all of your comments , its help a lot , I fix
some motion blur point , and add some heat wave around the jet, hope u can see it :> I have to thank you all of you to push me to this point , still waiting for comments in last minute tweak :>

Man, how did I miss this thread?
Very, very cool idea and designs. :thumbsup:

My onlysuggestion (and this is just a little nitpick, but I noticed it anyways) is the third "cruiser" ship (the closest next to the monster) could be blurred a bit more to better simulate depth of field.

essencedesign

01-12-2005, 10:12 PM

Looks killer...BTW how did you accomplish the head distortions...??

love it, but maybe one idea: at the upper left corner, there seemes to be a little bit of empty space. maybe you put some clouds in it or so... just an idea. but really a great pic

monsitj

01-13-2005, 01:38 AM

many many thanks for alll of your comments and encouragement!!! ,
essencedesign: do u mean jet heat distortion? : u can use
1. displacement in afterfx and paint black and white map to distort or,
2. photoshop liquify ,
good luck ,all!! maybe i have to sit back and watch for the last miniute tweak ! so any suggestion still welcome!:):bounce:

jdsb

01-13-2005, 01:43 AM

maybe you could overexpose the lighting (some glow and scattering) around the edges of the mechanized character since it seems to be in the foreground in front of the ships.I think it will enhance the composition,not sure but it looks just amazing regardless.

jdsb

01-13-2005, 02:06 AM

Also i think the cables in front(right side) can have a little(just very little) bit more texture detail.the rest of the character is very well textured.just an opinion,once again its sick work man:wip:

Nomad

01-13-2005, 07:05 AM

Congrats man, it's finally done! Great piece of work! Glad to have seen your work from start to finish. Cheers, all the best woth the voting!

However I do think that there is a slight lack of depth to it! I think the various componants need a little more contrast and I would probably add a bit more depth of field (DOF) blurring to the ships in the background. There is so much going on in the image and I think really that you need to decide what is the main focus of the image and somehow make that more prominent by controlling the DOF and the contrast of the elements.

You should do well with this image.

Regards,
